What I’m reading: 10/24/2019
This week: two authors who have been hit or miss for me in the past. And two books I DNF in October.
What I’m reading: 10/5/19
Current fiction read: This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger. Current non-fiction audiobook: Presence by Amy Cuddy. And one book I haven’t yet marked as DNF but probably will.
Book Review: Big Magic
This is officially one of my all-time favorite books. I should divulge that I’m a huge fan of Elizabeth Gilbert. Big Magic is all about having the courage to pursue your creative dreams, and how creativity is intrinsically linked with authenticity.
Book review: Brave Enough
When I first heard that Cheryl Strayed had released a book of quotes curated from her earlier works, I was skeptical. I love Strayed’s work; Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things are both among my all-time favorite books. But despite the huge success of her books, I couldn’t help but wonder, with an online column, one novel, one memoir, and one self-help book (consisting of content pulled from said column) to her credit, did she really have enough material for what was essentially a “best of” collection?
Book Review: You Are a Badass
This book is badass. Jen Sincero is the real deal. I’ve read a lot of the same books that she read before she wrote this, and I can tell she’s done her research and she knows what she’s talking about.
